Word came today my old pard and best bud died this morning after breakfast. Nursing home, encephalitis, some dementia. Watching his life be sold off, only memories to live on. Hits harder than I anticipated, I now have no tight friends left.
First opportunity I will get out and shoot the Colt Commander I got from him.
Good memory; his son married my daughter so the grandsons got to camp and hunt with both granddads on the same trips.
He was not on the fire.

Go shoot that Colt. Know he will be with you when you do.

My condolences . I think it was neat that you guys were related and camped together. Very few relatives have that bond. Alan

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

losing your good friends one by one is one of the worst parts of getting old. I see it way too much now. Most of my longtime buds were older than me and time is taking it's toll. I feel for your loss. It makes pushing trough that much harder.
There is just no replacing them.

Sorry for your loss. Enjoy those grand kids. They are precious.
